THE LES.ON iN ITS SETTING
Time --- The date for the writing
of this book cannot be determined
with finality; some place it is as
early as 633 B.C., and some as late
' as 500 B.C. The exact year of its
composition does not in am vitas
gray detertciue the interPretatiou
et the book.
Place .•- Jerusalem.
In this lesson. we find rich mater-
ial to illuminate the great truth of
the ultimate victories of God's eter-
nal purposes, and from the lesson
we should see in a new and clearer
way how it is net each day's occur-
ences, nor each year's events that
are final in God's plana but that all
the events of life, the whole history
of anation, the entire course of the
ages, are finally made to fulfill the
eternal purposes of God.
The name Habakkuk comes from
a Hebrew ^root meaning "to em-
brace". Practically nothing is
known of this prophet and his. life.
At the time Habakkuk was writing
this book, Je'hoiakim was probably
on the throne of Judah. This king's
selfish luxury and oppressive exac-
tions are sharply contrasted by Jer-
emiah with his father's upright con-
duct and just administration. The
Chaldeans during this period were
in their full career of conquest.
COMING TRIBULATION
The book opens with a dialogue
between the prophet and God. Ha-
bakkuk contemplates with dismay
the reign of lawlessness around grim
Ln Judah. Long and earnestly has
Le pled with God to interpose, but
no answer has come. Then at last
Jehovah. appears to answer, The
Lard announces his purpose to raise
up the Chaldeans to chastise Israel
Cor her disobience and her iniqui-
ties, and he here calls on the pro-
phet, and through him, his people,
to understand the deeper meaning
of the tribulation which is immed-
iately before them. The Chaldeans
were "to be the instrument in the
bands of God to mete out judgments
Lo the Jews and humble them, as
well as other nations.

ANY BRIGHT IDEAS?
To everyone elm ever listens
to a radio there sometimes comes
a thought, why don't they do this
-- or do things that way? Well,
those are exactly the thoughts
that any radio station likes to
hear about. When you get an idea
or a bright thought about a radio
program — don't just dismiss it—
sit down and write to the man-
ager of your favourite radio sta-
tion — or to the prcgram you are
listening to at the moment.
Listener reaction is important
in radio — it is the only, gauge
by which radio stations and con-
tinuity 'writers can judge- the
public's dislikes, and .dislikes. So,
you can help yourself get the kind
of programs you like by giving
your views!
HABAKKUK'S GREAT
PROBLEM
Hata 1:12, Art not thou from
everlasting, 0 Jehovah my God, my
Holy (One? we shall not die,.; 0 Je, ,
hovel, 'thou hast ordained hind for
judgment; and thou, 0 Rock, hast
established him for correction. 13.
Thou that art of puree eyes than
to behold evil, and that canst not
took on perverseness, wherefore
tookest thou upon them that deal
treacherously, and holdest thy owu
peace when the wicked swailoweth
ap the man that is more righteous
than he; 14. and makest men as the
fishes of the sea, as the creeping
things, that have no ruler over
them? 15. He taketh up all of them
with the angle, he catcheth them
in his net, and gathereth them in
his drag; therefore he rejoiceth and
4s glad. 16. Therefore he sacrificeth
auto his net, and burneth incense
unto his drag; because by them bis
portion is fat, and his food plent-
eous. 17. Shall he therefore empty
Isis net, and spare not to slay the
aations continually? The prophet's
dilemma: allowing that the Chald-
eans were an agent in the hands of
Clod for the punishment of unbeliev-
ing and sinful Israel, the prophet
asks how God can allow them vic-
tories that result in their rejoicing
over sorrow and sufferiug of God's
own people, and in the confirma-
tion of the Chaldeans in their idol-
atrous practices. Wily does no God
interfere?

Would Save Many Lives, In-
sists Noted Surre-se — Plat-
ing on Chest
Kenneth �tiallter, Harley Street
(Loudon, England) surgeon, and a
captain in the R.'..M,C., in the first
Great War, wants to see troops in
the trenches provided with armor
plating on the chest, which. would
"save the lives of many."
Large numbers of men died dui
ing 1914-1918 as' the result of being
hit in the chest by tiny fragments
of grenades or shells, .he, said in
the "British Medical Journal."
The Germans were reported to
be using duralumin suits•pat the be-
ginning of this war. British mili-
tary circles then said that the sug-
gestion
um
gestion that troops should be ar-
mor -plated had bean considered,
but it was not considered feasible
because of the weight and penetrat-
ing
enetrat
ing power of modern weapons.
Arguing that it took two years
to induce the authorities to accept
the steel helmet, Walker r said:
"Raving accepted the, principle that
it is worth while protecting the
head from projectiles of compara-
tively low penetrating .power, is it
not advisable to extend this prin-
ciple to other and even more vul-
nerable areas of the body?"
Sixty per cent. of the wounded
during the last war were put out
of action by projectiles other than
bullets. he said. Light armor .woulr:

the handle of the dipper, your eyesight is supposed to be normal.
The small star was named `Alcor" by the ancients, a word mean-
